Hi,

 

A couple of days ago I ran CCleaner ....  and at some time recently I ran the Windows 10 Storage sense ....

 

anyway,  I noticed today all my downloads are gone.   I have used them both before without them deleting my downloads.  

 

what a mess ......    ahhhrrrr

Before running the CCleaner 'clean' function, carefully select the options you need.

Check out both tabs - Windows & Applications.

Yes, it has happened to me too.

For some reason or other, the customized selections are lost.

Believe me, it can be worser, this week I was thinking to erase a DVD+RW, but I erased a whole HDD, accidentally.

Uncheck the box so that downloads aren't cleared.

 

Before that, download "recuva" by Piriform and get your files back.

 

 

might not be possible depending on the settings option.

it has become problematic after being purchased from AVG, now I use Glary Utilities

Its just user error. I'd stick with CCleaner, Glary even more troublesome.
